FluidX™ AcoustiX™ Sample Tube - Labcyte® Echo® Qualified Consumable
The AcoustiX tube allows researchers to combine the benefits of FluidX 2D Coded Tubes and the Labcyte® Echo® Liquid Handler, providing the drug discovery process with the robust assay data quality and an increase in compound consumption efficiency when compared with current, conventional methods.
Overview
- Acoustic dispense direct from the tube
- Assay robustness based on a higher sample integrity
- Compound saving vs. Conventional storage methods
- Faster turnaround time from request for compound to compound ready for assay
- Established benefits of 2D Coded Tubes vs. Plates which have to be fully thawed and unsealed to access one sample
- Combined technologies of 2D Coded Tubes and Acoustic Transfer
